ERA-NC Alliance condemns actions
of Texas Legislature and Supreme Court
The ERA-NC Alliance condemns members of the Texas Legislature who supported passage of Texas Law SB8 and the US Supreme Court for failing to stop implementation of that law, which effectively strips women of their constitutional right to make private, personal decisions regarding their reproduction and health care choices.
Women have been denied full autonomy for centuries. It has only been in the last 50-plus years that women have been able to serve on juries, get credit, apply and get most jobs, earn a living wage (although not an equitable one compared to their male counterparts) and control when and if they have children.
The founding mothers of the Equal Rights Amendment knew 100 years ago that women must have full constitutional equality because of unequal and unjust laws that impact mothers and potential mothers.
The ERA-NC Alliance will continue to work with and support organizations whose goals are to ensure that women do not bear the burdens of laws and due process that discriminate against them because of their gender.
